The goal of the Parent School Covenant is to create the strongest possible partnership between home and the school and to nourish and facilitate the individual abilities of each child. To succeed in our mission and foster intellectual and social growth, education must extend beyond the classroom walls by recognizing and incorporating the family and home as vital parts of success.

One of the requirements of Brighten's Parent-School Covenant is to volunteer and earn a minimum of 20 credits and to maintain an updated Volunteer Log of volunteer activities. Failure to meet the requirements set forth in the parent contract will result in loss of extracurricular privileges such as field day, ASP, clubs, school dances, and other non-instructional events throughout the year. Report cards and other documents will be maintained in the office until the requirements are met. Please note that half of the hours must be completed by January 1st of each school year. Families who join us later in the year will be asked to earn two hours per month enrolled.
